ANGOLA
July 10 - 28, 2024
$9577*
Single Supplement $910
*Based on a group of 10. Small-group surcharge will apply for smaller groups.
After a prolonged Civil war this vast (nearly twice the size of Texas) and beautiful country is now once again stable and peaceful and open for tourism. With over 920 bird species, of which at least 15 are endemic (depending on taxonomy used) and a further 28 near-endemic, this is a true birder’s paradise and one of the least birded yet one of the most rewarding African countries to bird. We’ll target most of the endemic and near-endemic birds, from the spectacular Tundavala Escarpment in the south to the lush Guinea forests of the north. We expect a bird list in excess of 500 species, with some of the species only recently rediscovered and therefore only seen by relatively few birders to date.
Lurking within its wild borders lies the continent’s second largest waterfall and, as is customary with all our tours, we’ll pay a deserved visit to this natural wonder, the spectacular Calandula Falls. Winding down the Tundavala escarpment, we will travel through Leba Pass, one of the most scenic passes in all of Africa, providing for some spectacular photographic opportunities whilst looking for some of the endemics occurring here. Angola might be a diamond in the rough, but deep within lies a country of surprising beauty, hosting an array of endemic birds, which on its own should make it one of the “must visit” African destinations.
